There is a healer that goes by the name of “friendship” that has a place in our hearts…
You may not know what gives it shape and form.
Yet, the joy it brings is so wonderful that you feel it is a gift from God…
I want to describe the life of a team of girls who, despite being “fragile”, are full of determination and strength of character. Girls who walked on a rough and dangerous path in the hope that it would lead them to a brighter future.
Girls who overcame their difficulties as one, like family, side by side, with love, solidarity and friendship.
They endured hardships but over time urged each other on…
Those girls decided to lighten their heavy hearts by letting the universe hear their voices. They wanted to put into words and to describe what they went through on the rugged paths they walked as a result of decisions they took…
This is what led to the launching of the newspaper “Migratory Birds”.
The idea of such a newspaper was originally met with hostility by some. There were those who tried to put the girls off publishing it, but the team was too strong to give in and reverse its decision.
The team was united in its effort and, despite the “wishes” of some, the first issue was very warmly received, even by those who had originally spoken against its publication…
This reception encouraged the girls to work towards a second issue…
In the end, with each new edition our supporters grew, as did our circulation and the size of our team.
Meanwhile, during the course of this journey some team members were obliged to leave us, because they moved onto other countries in order to fulfill their hopes and dreams. It won’t be easy for some of them to realise their hopes but they have to try.
Those that left us will continue their efforts. Wherever they are, they will continue to write and to circulate their newspaper successfully….
Even I, who am describing the team’s success, am witness to the departure of some who lived through difficult times, but with solidarity, hope and love managed to stand on their own two feet and make a new beginning, just us I continue our joint venture from here…
The rest of us girls are sad because we miss them, but at the same time, we are happy for the bright future awaiting all those who left.
This team is based on friendship, and no obstacles, not even distance, will destroy it. All its members, wherever they were, are or will be, are joined like links in the same chain.
Our friends are far away, but our hearts touch each other!
